My Approach
As a trauma-trained, depth-oriented clinician, I tend to work longer-term with clients. I feel an immense honor in being invited to sit alongside people through their most liminal, confusing spaces, as well as the chapters when life feels vibrantly alive.
Much of our work happens in the unknown. When our inner life asks for attention, we reflexively want to solve, fix, avoid, manage, or grip more tightly to control it. Rather than rushing to resolve what is uncomfortable, we will co-create a space to get curious about what that discomfort is actually asking of you.
Because of that depth, I am not a fit if you are looking for brief, highly solutions-focused therapy. We will work over time, exploring how your relationships shape the way you move through the world, while learning to trust that you don't always have to have the answer right away.
What it's like to work together
I’m engaged and collaborative. I’ll ask direct questions, reflect patterns, be present, challenge when appropriate, and help you make sense of what’s unfolding not just nod along for 50 minutes.
My aim is to help you develop more clarity, self-compassion, steadiness, and choice in how you move through your life and relationships.
Some sessions are quiet and reflective; others hold emotion, insight, tears, anger, or laughter. Therapy isn’t linear, and meaningful change takes time to notice. Some shifts may happen quickly; others become visible only over time.
We’ll move at a pace that respects your capacity, without forcing change or expecting you to do therapy “right.”
You remain the expert on your own life. I respect your autonomy and your right to decide what we explore, what feels useful, and what doesn’t.
-
No quick fixes or forced positivity
-
No optimizing or fixing you
-
Practical tools and skills building when they’re useful
-
Space to be honest about what hurts and what protects
-
Notice what emerges between us and how it may reflect patterns in your other relationships
״We have been socialized to respect fear than our own needs for language and definition & while we wait in that silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.״
